EYE STRAPS

Description

Gloma Nautica Eye Straps

Gloma Nautica’s Eye Straps are robust, low-profile fastening points engineered to provide secure anchoring for ropes, webbing, or control lines in both marine and industrial environments. Crafted from AISI 316 stainless steel, these straps embody the precision, durability, and corrosion resistance essential for long-term use in harsh outdoor or saltwater conditions. Designed and manufactured in Spain, they reflect Gloma Nautica’s commitment to high-performance rigging components and European manufacturing quality (glomanautica.com).

Each eye strap is forged rather than cast—a significant distinction in terms of structural integrity. Forging aligns the internal grain of the stainless steel, dramatically increasing strength and resistance to stress fractures or fatigue. If pushed beyond working limits, a forged strap will visibly deform rather than snap, providing a critical safety indicator in mission-sensitive applications like lifelines, deck fittings, and rescue equipment. This ensures reliability in environments where safety and mechanical performance are non-negotiable.

The design consists of a gently arched strap with two countersunk mounting holes on either end. This clean, simple geometry makes installation intuitive and versatile. Eye straps can be mounted on fiberglass, wood, aluminum, or steel surfaces using standard screws or bolts, providing immediate attachment points for bungees, cords, harnesses, or rigging. Their smooth contour allows for easy passage of lines, reducing friction and chafing—especially valuable on sailboats or dinghies where equipment is under constant movement.

Thanks to their AISI 316 stainless steel construction, Gloma Nautica eye straps are immune to pitting corrosion, salt-induced rusting, and chemical degradation. Molybdenum-enriched 316 alloy resists seawater damage far better than 304 steel, making these fittings ideal for use on deck, near the waterline, or in high-humidity zones. The mirror-polished finish enhances both aesthetics and performance—minimizing fouling and simplifying routine inspection and cleaning.

Available in multiple sizes and mounting spans, Gloma eye straps serve a wide variety of purposes. In boating, they’re frequently used for sail control lines, fender lashings, paddle tethers, and dodger frames. In safety applications, they provide stable anchor points for webbing or fall arrest systems. Their discreet appearance also makes them suitable for architectural or interior applications where form and finish matter as much as function.

Every Gloma Nautica eye strap undergoes batch quality control with full traceability, ensuring compliance with mechanical and dimensional standards. Their production process in Spain adheres to strict European quality benchmarks, offering assurance to marine professionals, shipyards, and outfitting specialists who demand consistency and performance.

Whether you’re rigging a racing yacht, outfitting a rescue craft, or designing a reliable strapping system for rooftop gear, Gloma Nautica’s forged eye straps offer a secure, corrosion-proof solution that performs under pressure and lasts for years.
